2024. If you anticipate that you will be 

submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all PRA comments to 

Nicole Ongele, FCC, via email PRA@

fcc.gov and to nicole.ongele@fcc.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

additional information about the 

information collection, contact Nicole 

Ongele, (202) 418–2991. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC 

may not conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. No 

person shall be subject to any penalty 

for failing to comply with a collection 

of information subject to the PRA that 

does not display a valid Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. 

OMB Control Number: 3060–0004. 

Title: Sections 1.1307 and 1.1311, 

Guidelines for Evaluating the 

Environmental Effects of 

Radiofrequency Exposure. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

households, Business or other for-profit, 

Not-for-profit institutions, and State, 

Local or Tribal government. 

Number of Respondents and 

Responses: 233,596 Respondents; 

233,596 Responses. 

Estimated Time per Response: 0.0833 

hours (5 minutes)–20 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

reporting requirement and third-party 

disclosure requirement. 

Obligation to Respond: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. Statutory 

authority for this Information collection 

is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154, 302, 303, 

and 307. 

Total Annual Burden: 26,005 hours. 

Total Annual Costs: $1,958,335. 

Needs and Uses: The Commission 

will submit this revision of a currently 

approved information collection to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) after this 60-day comment period 

in order to obtain the full three-year 

clearance. 

This information collection is a result 

of responsibility placed on the FCC by 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires that 

each federal agency evaluate the impact 

of ‘‘major actions significantly affecting 

the quality of the human environment.’’ 

It is the FCC’s opinion that this is the 

most efficient and reasonable method of 

complying with NEPA with regard to 

the environmental issue of 

radiofrequency radiation from FCCregulated transmitters. 

To account for rule changes 

implemented by 2019 rulemaking item 

FCC 19–126, ET Docket Nos. 03–137 

and 13–184, the Commission had 

previously estimated the burden to 

respondents for the collection of 

information in two components: the 

recurring annual burden, and the onetime burden of transitioning to the rule 

changes for existing parties. The period 

for transition to those rule changes has 

now passed, and so the Commission has 

now revised its estimates to remove 

consideration of the one-time transition 

burden. To update burden estimates 

based on the most recently available 

data, the Commission has also adjusted 

the total number of respondents/ 

responses, the total annual hourly 

burden, and the total annual costs from 

the previous estimates, based on 

licensing data for calendar year 2022.

Item No. Bureau Subject 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking that would adopt rules to protect consumers from SIM 

swap and port-out fraud, two fraudulent practices that bad actors use to take 

control of consumers’ cell phones, and would also seek comment on whether to 

harmonize the Commission’s existing requirements governing customer access 

to customer proprietary network information with the new SIM change authentication and protection measures in the Report and Order. 

5 ...................... WIRELINE TELE-COMMUNICATIONS ... TITLE: Amending Amateur Radio Rules for Greater Flexibility in Data Communications (WT Docket No. 16–239). 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider a Report and Order and Further Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking that would eliminate the symbol rate (also known as 

baud rate) limitation and establish a bandwidth limitation that would provide flexibility to use modern digital emissions, thereby promoting innovation and experimentation in the amateur service. The item would also propose removal of the 

baud rate limitation in several additional bands. 

6 ...................... WIRELINE COMPETITION ...................... TITLE: Reducing Regulatory Requirements for Rural Provider of Long-Distance 

Access Service (WC Docket No. 22–407). 

SUMMARY: The Commission will consider a Declaratory Ruling and Memorandum 

Opinion and Order that would grant the Minnesota Independent Equal Access 

Corporation (MIEAC) relief from dominant carrier regulation with respect to its 

provision of centralized equal access (CEA) service, and regulate MIEAC as a 

non-dominant competitive LEC for this service going forward. In light of declining 

demand, intervening exchange access service regulatory reforms, and technological changes in the voice services marketplace generally, dominant carrier 

regulation of MIEAC’s CEA service is no longer necessary to serve the public interest.
